This blackout is awesome, it will be a great big blackout that will do great things. I am so great for praising such a great blackout
people downvoting don't understand a parody account
If subreddits aren't going black for good/until /u/spez stops changing posts he doesn't like and backs down you're only wasting user's time. Gritting your teeth for a few days is easy; doing the same until someone blinks is another.
I vote for indefinite darkness until Spez is gone AND they pull back on all this bullshit!!
Awesome. I'm done with reddit. There is enough random new content posted here to keep me occupied and we're not even federating yet. Hopefully this catches on and my favorite communities migrate over. I was going to quit once sync shutdown, anyway, but no need to wait.
r/Videos already said they will not reopen unless reddit makes changes to their recent decisions. I'm not very optimistic but I hope other main subs will follow. Because let's face it, a 2 days blackout is not going to accomplish much. A protest should end only if the leaders die or accept to the demands of their people, not just 2 days.
A sub like /r/videos will eventually be brought back online. The site admins will remove the mods and replace them with ones that don't care and want the "power" (do janitors have power?). They'll remove the mods who were protesting and take away any of their mod privileges, maybe even ban them outright. That wouldn't surprise me one bit at all, par for the course for Spez.
I guess that's a possibility, but where will spez find masochistic people who have to deal with abuse, spam, CP, far-right bullshit holocaust deniers every second of their day for free? Reddit mods may seem on a power trip and almighty super proud people but they are still what keeps reddit not turning into voat or 8chan. And they do it for free. Then reddit reaps the profits. Something's not right.

For all he cares, the mods may as well be people who spread abuse, spam, CP, far-right bullshit holocaust denial, every second of their day, for free... As long as he can make his money.
If it goes as well as voat or 8chan it won't be making much money. If any.
Shhhhh, don't let the investors catch wind! I need their money before I ride off into the billionaire sunset.
Don't even concern yourself with what reddit is doing anymore. Just try to build a rich community with content here. It's up to us to make conversation interesting and engaging here.
All very true.
On the other hand, there is the popcorn value of watching Reddit burn itself down...
/r/apple is going indefinite. Awesome stuff. I am guessing there is a heavy overlap of /r/apple users and Apollo users.
Makes sense. If I did buy one of those devices (I find them overpriced), I would want to make it as nice as possible. Kudos to that community.
